The problem it solves

If you sell on both Shopify and WooCommerce, every order means another manual entry into your books, and it's easy to lose track of which platform a sale or refund came from. Reconciling two storefronts by hand at month-end is slow and error-prone.

Who it fits

E-commerce business owners or bookkeepers managing sales across more than one storefront platform.

How it works

  1. A new order or refund comes in from either Shopify or WooCommerce
  2. The system standardizes the details into one common format, regardless of platform
  3. It determines whether the record is a sale or a refund
  4. The transaction is formatted with line items, tax, and notes
  5. The record is entered into your Google Sheets ledger, updating existing rows instead of creating duplicates
What you get

Sales from every store in one running total

Every sale from Shopify and WooCommerce lands in one clean ledger, refunds included, so your books always match reality.

What you get

A single, up-to-date Google Sheets ledger of every sale and refund across both storefronts.

What you need

A Shopify account, a WooCommerce store, and a Google account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
